Two-time Tony Award winner Jonathan Pryce will once again play the tramp Davies in Harold Pinter's modern classic The Caretaker when the Liverpool Everyman production in which he recently starred transfers to the West End to coincide with the play's 50th anniversary in the new year. It will have a limited season at Trafalgar Studios 1, January 12-April 17, with an opening on January 18. Christopher Morahan directs the production, which is also performing at the Theatre Royal Bath this week.
The play is set in the late 1950s in a seedy west London flat where two grown brothers -- brain-damaged Aston and menacing Mick -- have their lives disrupted by a bad-tempered tramp named Davies. Peter McDonald will be reprising his role as Aston, with further London casting to be announced.
Pryce spent much of his early career at the Everyman, where he eventually became artistic director and met his wife, the actress Kate Fahy. He won his Tonys for Miss Saigon and Comedians. His many previous theater credits include Glengarry Glen Ross, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?, My Fair Lady, and Oliver!
